The Arrogant Ape
Most people are certain that humans are the most intelligent, sophisticated, successful species on earth. But what if we're wrong? And what if our arrogant human exceptionalism is leading us to exploit the earth at the expense of other species - and destroy our own world in the process?In The Arrogant Ape, leading primatologist Christine Webb challenges our belief in human superiority by revealing underappreciated wonders of nonhuman life - from the language of songbirds and prairie dogs, to the cultures of chimpanzees and reef fishes, to the acumen of plants and fungi. She shows how human exceptionalism has even crept into the sciences, distorting how we study and understand other species. With fresh research into the rich social, emotional and cognitive lives of animals, and compelling stories from all over the world, The Arrogant Ape demonstrates how our belief in our own importance is directly linked to some of the greatest threats against us and our environment - and offers a hopeful, inspiring way forwards.

Io e la lepre
Nulla sembra poter accadere, nel cuore di un gelido inverno. La campagna è muta, sommersa dalla neve, le ragnatele congelate sui cespugli, i tronchi incrostati di brina. Eppure qualcosa, tra il folto dell'erba e al riparo dagli sguardi, accade. È in un giorno d'inverno che Chloe Dalton, professionista in fuga dall'ormai insopportabile frenesia di Londra, si prepara a una lunga passeggiata. E in quel giorno, proprio come nei romanzi, la sua vita cambia per sempre. Lungo il sentiero, un leprotto neonato, non più grande di un palmo, il manto color cioccolato indistinguibile dalla chiazza di nuda terra. L'istinto di sollevarlo per porlo al riparo dai predatori è immediato, così come la paura di procurargli un danno irreversibile, sia pur nel tentativo di salvarlo. E tuttavia quell'atto incerto è un inizio. Nel nutrire il leprotto, predisporgli un ambiente adatto, informarsi sulle abitudini di questa creatura tenacemente selvatica, il desiderio di Chloe non è di addomesticarlo, ma di essere al contrario il meno presente possibile, di lasciare all'animale tutta la sua libertà. E così, man mano che grazie a lei il cucciolo cresce e dispiega le sue virtù, Chloe impara a superare con la stessa pacata fermezza le proprie difficoltà. Donna e lepre si trovano coinvolte in un affetto quieto e ostinato, che da loro irradia verso tutte le silenziose meraviglie del mondo naturale: l'incanto della vita che noi non sentiamo e non vediamo più. Lirico ma mai sentimentale, Io e la lepre è memoir, storia naturale e manifesto per l'ambiente: un invito a creare una relazione di attenzione e rispetto fra gli esseri umani, la natura e tutte le creature che la abitano. Per non essere in mezzo a loro soltanto il più rumoroso - e prepotente - degli esemplari.

Raising Hare
NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK - NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - FINALIST FOR THE 2025 WOMEN'S PRIZE - A fascinating meditation on freedom, trust, loss, and our relationship with the natural world, explored through the story of one woman's unlikely friendship with a wild hare.A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, NPR, TIME, The Boston Globe, The Economist, Scientific American, Slate "Moving. . . . Impart[s] valuable lessons about slowing down and the beauty in the unexpected."--USA Today "A perfect testimony to the transformative power of love."--Margaret Renkl, author of The Comfort of Crows>In February 2021, Dalton stumbles upon a newborn hare--a leveret--that had been chased by a dog. Fearing for its life, she brings it home, only to discover how difficult it is to rear a wild hare, most of whom perish in captivity from either shock or starvation. Through trial and error, she learns to feed and care for the leveret with every intention of returning it to the wilderness. Instead, it becomes her constant companion, wandering the fields and woods at night and returning to Dalton's house by day. Though Dalton feared that the hare would be preyed upon by foxes, weasels, feral cats, raptors, or even people, she never tried to restrict it to the house. Each time the hare leaves, Chloe knows she may never see it again. Yet she also understands that to confine it would be its own kind of death. Raising Hare chronicles their journey together while also taking a deep dive into the lives and nature of hares, and the way they have been viewed historically in art, literature, and folklore. We witness firsthand the joy at this extraordinary relationship between human and animal, which serves as a reminder that the best things, and most beautiful experiences, arise when we least expect them.
